And just as the Buddha Head Statue's giant hand neared Cheng Guang, the phantom of Tang Sanzang beside Cheng Guang stirred into action.
The body of Tang Sanzang, full of sacred light, took a step forward.
Cheng Guang swung his hand, and a stream of light entered the body of Tang Sanzang.
At the same moment.
Cheng Guang's lips parted slightly, and he uttered the Buddhistic phrases—profound in meaning, majestic in syllable—from his mouth.
Barely audible.
As Cheng Guang spoke, the phantom of Tang Sanzang beside him maintained synchrony with Cheng Guang.
The shape of Cheng Guang's lips and those of Tang Sanzang's matched perfectly.
Cheng Guang was chanting Buddhistic phrases.
So was Tang Sanzang.
It would be more appropriate to say that it was Cheng Guang chanting for Tang Sanzang, his Buddhist chants carried forth through the mouth of Tang Sanzang.
